 Hi,

 There's just over a week to go for early bird registration for
 OpenStreetMap's second international conference in Limerick, Ireland

 meet your fellow mappers from all over the world.

 I can't help noticing that the registration fee has doubled from £25
 last year to £50 this year (and that's comparing last year's normal
 price to this year's early bird).

 What is the reason behind that? Is Limerick so much more expensive
 than Manchester? Have we doubled the amount of food available per
 person? Has this year's conference attracted significantly less
 sponsor money than last year's? Has last year's conference ended in
 a financial disaster for the organisers? Or wishful_thinkingare
 we now paying our speakers?/wishful_thinking

My consulting fee has doubled.

Can I put you down to help organise next year then? :-)

Best

Steve

I don't doubt that even at £50 the conference is excellent value for
money. But at £25 it would have been twice the value for money ;-)

Err, I think you're mixing up your Euros and Pounds.

Oops, maybe. So then it was £25 and now is EUR 50? That should be in
line with inflation then ;-)

Another note: The registration page says you'll need a Google account
to sign up. While I do have a Google account, I think that I used a
browser that knew nothing about it, and it still worked - so maybe the
information is false and you can indeed sign up even without a Google
account?
